Sabre Defence Update
Guy Denton Savage, 42, of London, was the owner of the now-defunct Sabre Defence Industries, a Nashville-based gun manufacturer and U.S. military supplier that shuttered operations in 2010 after a raid by federal authorities. In January 2011, a federal grand jury in Nashville issued a 21-count indictment charging Savage and four of his Middle Tennessee associates with illegally smuggling guns overseas.
The four Nashville executives quickly reached plea agreements with the government, admitting their roles in the alleged conspiracy and promising prosecutors their ongoing cooperation.
Savage’s response? He sent the federal court a bill for $250 million.
The invoice — the amount of business and personal damages Savage claims to have suffered as a result of the prosecution — is included in hundreds of pages of court filings and letters that Savage has mailed from the United Kingdom to U.S. District Judge Todd J. Campbell, who is presiding over the case.

Sounds like Savage has gone batshit nuts. He should probably be checked for the syph…

Disagree, John.
British courts are infamous for adhering to the strict letter of the law, unlike US courts. Their laws may suck, but they obey them.
If he can craft a good Constitutionalist defense, the British courts may be persuaded that the US courts are refusing to obey their own laws. Yea, it wouldn’t fly here … but it may work in extradition proceedings over there.
